started pplaying it again now that the last expansion's out and it's still fuc king great. good writing, good gameplay, and most of the sstuff that didn't work at launch's been fixed. the stronghold's way cooler now, classes that kind of sucked feel a lot better and have more interesting talents and what i've seen of the expansion is ggreat. very good game, one of the best of last year, if you haven't played it you should and if you have maybe consider going back

going through as a shark monk now, it sucks that there's only three portraits for them so i had to use this guy again:  monk's great, i do a shitload of damage and it's not as micro-heavy as i'd heard,.it's got a lot of strong passives and the buttons you get when you have wounds are sick as hell

Pablo Gigante posted:I bought it on Steam sale this week, I'm building a new PC so I'm excited to play it and hopefully recapture some of those Baldur's Gate feels the feels are strong in this one, they did a good job of getting the style down. they put a lot of care into it too, i'm doing a commentary run and it's cool how many little things they tucked into every zone, i missed a byunch of it on my first run

ddpends how crummy, it's definitely more intensive than like bg2. i think there's something in the expansion patch that's making my gpu do some work too, keep hearing the fan kick on

yeah i got that too. most numbers pretty much don't matter on any difficulty but the highest and maybe hard though, only thing you really need to keep an eye on is weapon quality (fine superb etc) and maybe what enchantments you got. otherwise it's more about choosing powers correctly for the fight you're on nd resource management

In Training posted:I think in a year or something during a dry spell I'll pick up the expansion and try it again, but that wound is still too fresh in my mind. My main dude was a monk and it was very fun, people rarely make such cut and dry CRPG's these days, neat to see. its weird how they jjust disappeared too, one of the obsidian guys mentioned during the kickstarter that there wasnt like a big notable failure of a crpg, people just stopped making them and then no one started again because market wisdom was that crpgs didn't sell

tthink it was a bunch of stuff, that's also when the playstations ads were pushing games tto the mainstream and there's not much less mainstream than a crpg. black isle faling apart around then probably didn't help either

id on't think they came at the game to make everyc lass exactly as good, it hink they came at it from making ever yclass at least a baseline level of good. before the kicksterter rope kid did a lot oft alking about how lovely it is t o get like ten hours into a crpg and find out the class you chose is trash and imo making that not happen's a good design choice. there's still definite best classes in the game but there's no class that's complete garbage
